Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan says he is not perturbed by Sulley Muntari's assertion that his leadership is "a young one”.

During an interview with Starr FM last week, Muntari was asked to give his verdict on Asamoah Gyan's leadership qualities, which the former AC Milan ace branded Gyan as a young leader, and also compared the 31-year-old's captainship skills to Stephen Appiah.

And when Gyan was quizzed on how he took Sulley's take on his captainship on the Delay Show, the Shanghai SIPG poacher said, "“I am not worried. I have played with Sulley Muntari for so many years and he knows what he is saying. I respect Sulley’s opinion about me."

"I am the Captain of the Black Stars and i don't care if any player thinks I'm not the Captain. Officially I'm Captain and I have control because my orders are followed."

Some Ghanaian are of the perception that Asamoah Gyan can’t fit into the shoes of ex-Black Stars Captain, who many believe was a unifier and a great force to reckon with but Asamoah Gyan has not taken that position fully.
